You never had Bagna Cauda? Oh my god it is good. Soooooooooo gooooooooddddddd. Really.
anyway, Worcestershire sauce has fermented fish as a base, as does Thai fish sauce, as well as Roman Garum; mashing up half an anchovy in almost anything, spag bol even, is nature basic flavour enhancer.

Don't think so. Don't know what it is, so probably not.
The rest does sound delish though.

Its a dip for raw veg of olive oil, garlic butter and anchovy, and it is utterly divine.

Add just a little bit to any slow cooked beef roast and it brings out a super intense beefy flavor, though mushrooms, and tomato paste have a lesser, yet similar effect.

Both good pan steak recipes, I think everyone that is condemning your pan sauces believes that the one true way is to grill steak over charcoal and serve it straight up with 2-3 sides and let the steak stand on its own.
For the right kind of steaks, I do like it pan fried on a super hot cast iron skillet, especially when the lows outside are in the upper 80's, and grilling is miserable. Sounds like a good sauce base, though I'm not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar.
You've mentioned a couple of pan sauces, but I don't think you mentioned the most important part, the cut of meat. What kind of steaks are you cooking up?

This happened to be a MY strip and a fillet, though its as often a rib or rump.
I like the punchy simplicity of this sauce vierge, it isn't much more than just oil and salt, the vinegar and garlic just lift it a bit.

Strip and rib eye work well in the pan, though they work well everywhere. I haven't found anything to do with sirloin other than stir fries or grilling
One of the more interesting things I've tried has just been olive oil and lemon juice drizzled on the steak on the plate. It adds a nice extra flavor to a grilled steak without overpowering. It would be a complete waste of fond for a pan steak.
Also, how warm do you start your steak? Depending on what I'm going for and the thickness of the steak, sometimes I'll put it in a 180F oven for a bit before frying, that way I'm just searing the surface, it also helps with even cooking on a really hot grill.

A basic sauce vierge. Chuck in some good sea salt, it HAS to be sea salt, chemical salt is crap, and its all you need!

I have a smoke alarm in the hotel I am in right now else its as hot as I can get it. At home I have a cast iron skillet and a gas hob, I cook it up till its smoking before putting the meat in, you get an instant sear and depth of flavour on the crust.
I nere grill though, I cant stand BBQ food, its always too dry, too cooked, too burnt. Give me a pan cooked piece of meat, two veg, and a great sauce, and I am in heaven!

Or saving money on gas. Or insurance. Or just saving money in general.
Although I'm pretty sure the owner of that car doesn't need to save anything.
The valet can start saving though... 
It's an OO world.

That assumes of course that the valet is still among the living  .

So, they've sent the wee 'un home with some maths homework.There is a picture of a 2, made to look like a swan.The instructions are to colour it in. The paper is white.

That's math homework!? When I was a wee 'un, I had to compute the square root of 2 using only a stone tablet and a chisel.

That's nothing. When I was a wee 'un, I had to calculate pi to completion. We couldn't round like these lazy kids do today.

Agreed. But you know how math is - it's just a numbers game.

Colour outside the 2/swan - you are now the most intelligent person involved in this homework.
